NEWCOMERS AND VISITORS Welcome! Our practice is that Communion is open to all who are baptized and moved by the Spirit to receive Holy Communion. Those wishing a prayer or blessing are also invited to the altar rail – please carry a BAS or bible so the priest will know you require prayer. ……………………………………………………… These are the Five Marks of Mission: To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom To teach, baptize, and nurture new believers To respond to human need by loving service To seek to transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind, and to pursue peace and reconciliation To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth.
